THE BUYER PROBLEM

Resolve the decision behind the request.

An attractive report may conceal wrong denominators, untested assumptions or results that do not answer the objectives.

HOW THE WORK MOVES

Scope first. Traceable decisions throughout.

  1. Agree independence and review scope
  2. Inspect data lineage and outputs
  3. Return specific corrections
  4. Reassess the versioned candidate

Professional delivery uses the existing canonical project and case workflow. Independent QA and release approval are distinct decisions; unresolved findings remain visible.

What the agreed scope can deliver

01 · DELIVERABLE

Objective, method and assumption review

Confirm the exact format, accountable reviewer and acceptance criteria in the written scope before work begins.

02 · DELIVERABLE

Prioritised findings with required corrections

Confirm the exact format, accountable reviewer and acceptance criteria in the written scope before work begins.

03 · DELIVERABLE

Review disposition and unresolved limitations

Confirm the exact format, accountable reviewer and acceptance criteria in the written scope before work begins.

Methods, assumptions and boundaries

Independent review is scoped to supplied evidence. It is not a journal acceptance guarantee, blanket certification or a replacement for institutional review.

Source values are preserved; changes require documented reasons. Analysis needs a defined outcome, population, design and eligible records. Review may withhold an unsupported test or conclusion.

Read the RMA methodology →

Start with context. Transfer data privately.

The public fit check asks for objectives, stage and constraints. Do not paste participant names, health records, passwords or connector tokens. Access, permitted data, retention and export/deletion arrangements are confirmed before private transfer.

Review data-handling boundaries →

Is this a fit?

For researchers and teams needing a second review who can explain the intended decision, provide authorised evidence and accept transparent limitations.

Outside scope: fabricated data, guaranteed significance, thesis ghostwriting, clinical decision-making or claims of regulatory certification.

Before you start

What does the first enquiry commit me to?

Nothing is charged through the fit-check form. RMA reviews scope and confirms deliverables, exclusions, timing and price in writing.

Will I need a personal or organisation workspace?

Choose personal research or an organisation project during intake. The same RMA account can participate in both. A professional service is linked to the canonical case; it does not create a separate portal.

Can you guarantee an outcome or approval?

No. Findings depend on the source data and design. QA checks the agreed evidence and cannot guarantee significance, graduation, grant funding or publication.

Prepare a stronger brief.
